  4. Hullo! My username is Gamma Warrior and I have been playing Nimbatus for a while, but I just bothered to join the forums. Before anybody asks, my favorite anime is named Hikaru No Go (Which is also a manga). It is more like a TV series, but in anime form. You can see if you look in my Automatic Drones post that Nimbatus' logic gates and sensors are my favourite things to play around with.

  7. Hey, so I was thinking about how it would look so cool to have blue horns on my nichelings and I came up with this idea. I really would like if a few rarer cosmetic genes could be unlocked in more unusual ways and so, what if the blue ramhorns could be unlocked by killing a rare blue crabit. A bit like those rare blue lobsters that you can sometimes find in the ocean. Like in this image: It would only spawn on certain islands that are more focused on water and would have quite a large lifespawn. Maybe it could be something like a achievement to kill it? Also for the horn's blue hue there's a few that I would like. Nothing too saturated but not too grayish etheir. Like those: I got a bit caried away and even drew a nicheling ahah So yup that's my sugestion! Thanks for reading!

  8. Alright, so I've seen some suggests asking for some type of creature creator/demo mode or whatever. I have been working on this for a while and I thought I'd make a new post since there's a lot more than just "A demo mode". This is gonna be mostly made up of pictures from what I call "Tutorial Mode" and I'll leave a link to a page with pictures without the text from tutorial mode. So first you can access this mode from the home screen like so: And then you would start at the creature creator (and to turn on tutorial mode you do this first (tutorial mode can be either be functional just with the yellow text or an example that goes away after you click)): Which can take you to either the creature list or the select mate screens which look like (also note that the scroll on the right on all screens is not accurate, and is just there to display its existence): (Where you can import creatures from save files like this: ) And confirming a breed brings you to the offspring list which is: Where there are trait statistics and custom filters (list of traits made by @Aysling here: https://strayfawnstudio.com/community/index.php?/topic/626-nicheling-sort-filter-and-select/&page=0#comment-2030) : Or you can go to the punnett square: And from anything outside of the creature lists, you can go to the gem colors (which you can find individually here: https://strayfawnstudio.com/community/index.php?/topic/646-customizable-and-programmable-gem-colors/) And the color cycle looks like this: And after all of that, you could use the creatures you used to start in sandbox mode like this: (Picture in production) So yea, that's all of it. Please let me know of any mistakes I might have made since this was a lot or of any logical inconsistencies. If you want to see the pictures without the text from tutorial mode, you can go to this link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16dVKParfTHqHpSsuPD_UA_6cozEJ94_4Wtxpff6lIsE/edit?usp=sharing

  9. While the concept of nichelings with Scorpion Tails IMO is incredibly cool, the way it currently looks on a primarily mammalian lifeform is pretty jarring, at least to me. So here are two ways in which I think it could be improved: 1. Manticore Style: Pretty much as it is now, just with a more chitin-like texture and dark vrown/black coloration. Less realistic, but much better looking. 2. Andalite Style: Similar to the aliens from the Animorphs series of books, this would be a flexible mammalian tail with a horn-like stinger on the end. Both more realistic and better-looking, but would need a new mesh, thus more work. So, what do you think?

  10. I think it would be great to have more settings for the sandbox mode. For example toggle buttons for all predator types (want to remove rogue males? Just switch them off). Maybe we could also define stuff like "Maximal tribe size" to add some extra challenge or "Maxium age of animals" so our critters can live longer. Or maybe even some special rules like "Only one male allowed in the pack" or "Tribe can only eat meat".

  11. Hi! I realllly love Niche's sound track and sometimes I pull the game up just to listen to the music! I was wondering in maybe ya'll would make some special music for any island that would lean towards piano? Maybe Oregon music for the Swampy islands? With animal sounds added in of course to set the mood just right. I just think Niche needs more music in general, but that could just be me. I don't want to make the tone different for Niche, so if it's not a good idea let me know! Thanks for listening!

  12. I saw Seri Pixel Biologist playing the new beta and I noticed there are tons of trees. She mentioned it can be hard o navigate around them so I thought that instead of making the trees less dense, beaver teeth can cut them down. A someone by the name of Sammi Kim replied to my comment and suggested that if beaver teeth become an option, that when trees are cut down we could get "nuts, nesting material and a lookout stump".

  17. I would love more music variation in niche! Listening to the same soundtrack can be quite booring at times and since you don't change islands that often it would quite refreshing!

  18. The devs actually reached the goal of selling enough copies pretty quickly after Niches full release and they said they'll do another community voting in late 2018 so we'll have at least one update ahead of us (which I am really looking forward too). How Niche will be developed furthermore remains to be seen as they are working on Nimbatus as well and I can imagine they'll focus more on that for a while as it is still in early acess if I recall correctly About DLC I don't mind DLC's if they are worth the money, which is of course hard to determine but that is my point of view. However if there are a lot of DLC that all cost a lot (yes I am looking at you Sims) then I do mind.

  22. I noticed after the update, I would make the bomb-bugs (what are their names?) explode and I'd see explosions all across my screen and I'd be missing parts of my ship lol. Played around some and noticed it was causing my remaining missiles to be pushed away from the blasts at VERY fast speeds. It's entertaining, but could become annoying. Slot2.nimbatusSaveGame

  24. I think they'll continue making new updates as long as Niche remains profitable. They've done three giveaways in succession, so I imagine the game isn't doing too badly in the money department. I even doubt this is the last huge update as we have staff coming by pretty frequently to support our suggestions or tell them why they can't be implemented. Now for the dreaded acronym: DLC. I absolutely hate it. The Niche devs haven't fallen into the trap of leaving out content that should've been in the game to begin with, but I worry suggesting it may go down that road. It's - unfortunately - a smart business decision, and younger gamers don't know the difference compared to now and how things were before, (meaning they'll buy DLC content regardless) but it's a slippery slope that makes me nervous. I feel like raising the price of the game for future buyers is more fair, but I know money talks louder than anything, so I suppose we'll just have to wait and see.

  25. Probably related to the bug I posted awhile ago. Derp Snout is supposed to be dominant over every other snout type, but Purr Snout was showing over it in 1.1.0, so it got fixed in 1.1.1

  27. I honestly am not sure. I love the idea of more huge updates coming out, even if they are DLC. If they decide to do DLC I would totally buy it. Hopefully with the new wings update more people will buy the game, seeing as the developers put so much time and effort to make us happy and to make an actually great and unique game.

  30. As far as i understand it the idea is to have logic controlled smart-missiles. Let the missile turn left/right and explode with buttons/logic, maybe even accelerate/slow down...

  31. @Deathpelt I agree with @Jojo's 1st idea that it would be like when the mother is still on the nest after she gives birth for a few days, and then the baby doesn't grow up.

  35. I've been mostly just playing with breeding pairs, breeding them until they give me a compatible pair, then everyone not breeding goes off to scout or get food while the two that will be breeding the next lot move towards the ports. I'll usually have two or three breeding pairs, depending on the number of tiles on the ports. One pair will be collecting, the other is fighters. I really want to play a game where I make it a lot more story driven, but I always find that I end up going back to my default, which makes the game less interesting after awhile. I get too worried about not having pairs that won't make sick babies. People who do challenges and stories always impress me because of that!

  40. hmm, I kinda like the "manticore style" version of your idea to make this work relatively simple one wouldn't even have to really change texture of it, just give it the horn colors instead of the fur colors and voila the insect like tail wouldn't look oddly fluffy anymore though I really like the model of the tail and wouldn't want anything changed with that but color seperation is fine

  41. If the "more customization for sandbox mode" gets enough upvotes, maybe we could just have a setting for this?

  43. Either falling apart or flooding. Maybe one end of the island starts sinking/ flooding first and you have to get to the other side, or there is higher ground on the other side. If there is flooding the rivers would also rise and cause problems. A timer could be helpful.?

  44. Thanks ^^ Yeah maybe you could swim on the sinking tiles for a short time and then they fall down into the depths.

  45. Hello there ! My name's Adrien, I'm a student in IT in France, and also a Closed Alpha player of Nimbatus. I'd like to be working in the video games industry later and I got a personal project going on to teach myself how to create games using Unity. I discovered Nimbatus a while ago (I would say early november of 2017 ?) and I immediately like the idea, tried the demo, posted a bit on the Discord/Forum at the time and sadly I had to be less active for a while (family time, classes, etc.), but now I'm back and I'll try to be as helpful as I can. It's my first time taking part in an Alpha Launch so I have to say I'm pretty excited ! I saw you guys like anime/manga and it's my case aswell ! Full Metal Alchemist is probably the one I like the most (only read the manga, I have to start the anime), I watched 3 times Hunter X Hunter (the 2011 version), I read Death Note multiples times too (never watched it though, I heard bad things about the adaptations haha) and I'm currently watching the season 2 of Seven Deadly Sins (Nanatsu no Taizai in Japanese). I'd like to learn it (maybe you could help me :p), Japan's one of my favorite country and I plan to go there this summer for about 10 days ! I would say cinema is quite a hobby too, I watch a lot of fantasy heroic kind of movies, super heroes, science fiction and all that stuff. I would say the animation movies from Studios Ghibli are my favorites by far, and LOTR Saga, as well as Harry Potter and Star Wars Prequels hold a good position if I had to make a list. That's pretty much what I would say about me, but if you want to know more don't hesitate to ask me, I'm always glad to talk !

  46. I like this idea as well. What about giving you the option to unlock a limited amount of genes in the mutation menu at the start of a sandbox save? Not many, and no prehistoric genes, just as a way to get your tribe adapted to the environment you want them to live in a little faster.

  47. Probably the logo of nimbatus, the different kinds of weapon types (Plasma, Bio, etc.). Thankyou for taking account of player suggestions!
